Well, once Fatty Xi start producing that, I suggest they bomb TSMC

I found this.......
China holds 25,132,122,000 barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2016, ranking 14th in the world and accounting for about 1.5% of the world's total oil reserves of 1,650,585,140,000 barrels. China has proven reserves equivalent to 5.4 times its annual consumption.
That means in 2016 its reserves can last 5.4 years without import. By now it shud be more I guess and that is why Biden not shiok and asked Xi to use them up so that he can blockage oil from entering China in the event of Taiwan war.....

You don't know that USA is now a net exporter of oil?
Which era are you living in?
In 2020, the United States exported about 8.50 MMb/d of petroleum to about 174 countries and 4 U.S. territories.

These reserves need to be extracted. They are different from strategic reserves which are already extracted and just stored somewhere for emergency or whatever usage. Strategic reserves are needed for emergencies or whatever reason. Cannot wait for extraction during emergencies lah.

Maybe last time, they could go for war in the Middle East. Once they were there, the pipelines were connected. The oil would be stored elsewhere.

US President also called Opec+ 3 times to increase production but they ignored him few months ago when oil prices keep going up. To solve its own oil consumption US should be releasing its stockpile not asking other oil producing countries to increase production, release from stockpile.

That time when oil went negative, I think Chinese bought a lot and took order.
Electric car or whatever else, during a war it's still going to be oil that matters... Electric cars can't go to war... Sitting ducks.. planes can't fly without oil...
